  • Publication number: 20230227150
    Abstract: An aircraft landing gear 100 includes a structural main leg 110, having a substantially circular cross-section and defining a front side for facing upstream in use and a rear side for facing downstream in use. The landing gear includes a shaped element 151 attached to an attachment point located on the rear side of the structural main leg. The shaped element extends rearwards from the structural main leg to provide a combined cross-sectional shape of the structural main leg and shaped element that is elongated in the upstream-downstream direction compared to the structural main leg.

  • Patent number: 9151244
    Abstract: An aircraft jet engine comprising a nozzle to eject a gas stream, and a system for reducing the noise generated by the ejection of the gas stream. This system comprises several ducts which each are connected upstream to a recess divided into several chambers and open, downstream, at the outlet of nozzle. In this way, each duct ejects a fluid jet deriving from the recess and which interacts with the gas stream of the engine. The system also comprises a pulsation means for the fluid jet which brings about its ejection at the nozzle outlet and/or modulates its speed by varying the volume contained in the recess.

  • Patent number: 8770921
    Abstract: An aircraft jet engine with a longitudinal axis, including a wall enclosing a gas flow ejected from a downstream end of the wall in the longitudinal axis, plural ducts being distributed around the periphery of the downstream end of the wall each including a terminal section, including an outlet opening. Each duct can eject a fluid jet through the outlet opening thereof. The ducts are configured to eject the fluid jets essentially parallel to each other, each fluid jet ejected through the corresponding outlet opening forming a lateral angle with the longitudinal axis in a projection view in a plane with the longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 8516824
    Abstract: A gas ejection cone for an aircraft turbojet, the cone including a hollow main body defining, on the outside, a radially inner skin of an annular primary flow channel, and a device generating turbulence in the primary flow limiting jet noise, mounted so as to move on the main body so as to be able to be displaced from an extracted position in which the device projects toward downstream in relation to a downstream end of the hollow main body, and a retracted position in which the device is retracted into the hollow main body, and vice versa. Further, the device includes a cylindrical support body having an axis parallel to an axis of the ejection cone, and at least one fin supported by the body.

  • Publication number: 20120186224
    Abstract: The invention relates to an aircraft jet engine comprising a nozzle (2) intended to eject a gas stream, and a system for reducing the noise (3) generated by the ejection of the gas stream. This system comprises several ducts (11a) which each, on the one hand, are connected upstream to a recess divided into several chambers and, on the other hand, open, downstream, at the outlet of nozzle (2). In this way, each duct ejects a fluid jet deriving from the recess and which interacts with the gas stream of the engine. The system also comprises a pulsation means (12) for the fluid jet which brings about its ejection at the nozzle outlet and/or modulates its speed by varying the volume contained in the recess. The system is configured in particular for balancing static pressures between the chambers.

  • Patent number: 8157050
    Abstract: A jet engine, including a wall surrounding a first gas flow ejected from a downstream end of the wall along a longitudinal axis, a second flow of gas running outside the wall in a direction of ejection of the first gas flow, at least one duct arranged on the periphery of the downstream end of the wall which is desired to eject a gas flow for interacting with one and/or the other gas flow, the at least one duct including a terminal section provided at the free end thereof with an outlet opening through which the fluid is ejected. The terminal section successively includes a first section of straight duct aligned along a median axis and a second duct section forming a bend relative to the straight section, the second portion having a free end provided with the outlet opening and sufficiently close to the median axis of the first section to give the terminal section a reduced restriction in a direction of formation of the bend.
